5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have read., 1 May 1998
By A Customer
I love The Mitford series, this one in particular. Ms. Karon brings life into the day to day activities of Father Tim and the people in the village of Mitford. Don't miss this continuation of the wonderful southern small town story. I sincerely hope that Ms. Karon will continue this delightful series as Father Tim and Cynthia enter retirement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy addition to a beautiful series., 12 Mar 1998
By A Customer
There is no letdown in this fourth Mitford book. Those who have read the others will love this one. However, if you have not read the others, I highly recommend that you get the first, "At Home in Mitford," and read them all in sequence. If anyone thinks that Karon's novels are strictly women's literature, I disagree. As a male myself, I find the masculine characters and their dialogue completely believable. The overall tone of the series is warm and uplifting, with a delightful understated humor, but the writing is not unrealistically syrupy. There is a strong religious undertone, since the main character is a priest, but the style is never preachy. The author has a finely balanced approach to every situation that the plots touch. I am hoping that there is another Mitford novel in progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot wait to read more of Mitford, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
As a foreign student, I lived 2 1/2 years in North Carolina. Jan Karon's book series describes so well the atmosphere in a Southern town. I can relate to people like Uncle Billy or Father Tim and Cynthia, because I met people like them myself during my time in the United States. Also, in my opinion, the Mitford series can be a spiritual guide. It makes one think and evaluate own experiences in life differently. I hope, there will be another Mitford book soon. I cannot wait.
